Xu Jiasheng kissed my forehead and said, "I'll wait for your news."
He left.
I stood there for a long time, unable to regain my senses.
Until a sharp voice pulled me back to reality: "Wen Li!"
I turned to see He Li Yan standing not far away.
His face looked extremely unpleasant.
I guessed he must have seen my interaction with Xu Jiasheng just now.
But I wasn't afraid of him.
"Is there something you need?" I asked.
He Li Yan strode over and grabbed my wrist tightly. "Wen Li!"
He was trembling with anger, but I could still see a hint of unnoticeable concern in his eyes.
He cared about me.
Just not enough.
"What do you mean by this?" he said in a lowered voice. "Are you really going to divorce me over some young kid?"
"Wen Li, don't have such unrealistic dreams!" he said sternly. "Do you think you can marry into the Xu Family after leaving me?"
"The old man of the Xu Family is notoriously old-fashioned!" he said coldly. "He would never accept you!"
"Wen Li, can you please wake up?" He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. "Can't we just live our lives well together?"
Those words were truly infuriating.
I raised my hand and slapped him hard.
The crisp sound echoed loudly in the empty corridor.
He Li Yan's face turned to the side, five clear fingerprints quickly appearing on his fair skin.
He stared at me with his mouth half-open, seemingly unable to believe that I had actually hit him.
I pulled my hand away from his grip and looked at him coldly. "Even if I don't marry into the Xu Family, I still don't want to stay by your side."
He Li Yan refused to divorce me.
He began to shower me with attention, as if he wanted to dig out his heart and show it to me.
In the past, I had always indulged him.
Now he was starting to indulge me instead.
"Li Li, I heard from a friend that a new French restaurant just opened. They say it's really good. Do you want to go together tonight?"
"Li Li, I've already taken care of that matter you were worried about. You don't need to stress."
"By the way, didn't you always want to see the aurora? I'm excited just thinking about it. I'll book the tickets tomorrow, and we can leave the day after!"
I had never noticed before how talkative He Li Yan could be.
I rubbed my temples and placed the divorce agreement in front of him. "Calm down."
His smile vanished.
He looked at the divorce agreement in front of him, his gaze turning icy. "Wen Li, are you really bringing up divorce again?"
I sighed, "He Li Yan, can you be a bit more rational?"
"We no longer have feelings for each other," I looked at him, "A forced relationship is never sweet, so why bother?"
He Li Yan seemed to be provoked, grabbing the divorce agreement and tearing it to shreds.
The pieces scattered all over the floor.
"I don't agree," He Li Yan's voice was hoarse, "Wen Li, I do not agree to the divorce."
"Why should it be up to you to decide when we get divorced?" He closed his eyes for a moment, "Wen Li, you are being too selfish."
"Have you ever considered my feelings?" He grasped my wrist tightly, his voice strained, "Wen Li, I don’t want a divorce."
"I never wanted to divorce you." He closed his eyes again, "I admit that there is indeed another woman in my life, but I never thought about divorcing you."
"Wen Li..." he called my name, his voice gravelly as if it were filled with grit, "Please don’t divorce me."
I looked at him quietly, "He Li Yan, you are too greedy."
I had called him before.
The internal line quickly connected to the lawyer's phone.
